Welcome

Welcome to WeRelate, your virtual genealogical community. We're glad you have joined us. At WeRelate you can easily create ancestor web pages, connect with cousins and other genealogists, and find new information.


Video Tour

We strongly recommend that you spend a few minutes taking our video tour. It provides a brief overview of how to use the features of WeRelate. A little time spent here may save you time later. There are also in-depth text tutorials available from the Help button.


Create Webpages

The next thing to do is launch Family Tree Explorer, then select File in the Family Tree Explorer menu and give your family tree a name. You can either upload your GEDCOM or create person and family pages one at a time. To upload your GEDCOM, select File in the Family Tree Explorer menu and then click on Import and choose the GEDCOM file to import. The system will create an editable web page for each person and family in your GEDCOM. To create a page manually, select Add in the Family Tree Explorer menu and click on Add new person; enter the given (first name) and surname (last name), select Add, then fill in the blanks and save.

The Family Tree Explorer is a Flash application and will need to use some space in your computer to cache the files. That's computer talk for "If you store some ancestor page information on your computer, you will be able to view more pages faster. Otherwise, the system has to fetch each page every time you edit or look at it. This would make navigating your tree very slow.


Connect with other genealogists

You should always sign in when you are editing or adding pages. Use the signature button (second button from the right in the menu bar above the edit box) to sign your comments on discussion pages. That way others with similar interests can find you. If you click on the blue user name on any page, you will go to that person's home page. You can leave a message on his/her Discussion page. The Discussion page button is in the light green second level menu bar above.


Shared research pages

Shared research pages act like specialized message boards. Be careful to use only one name spelling and one location in each field; do not use abbreviations. Including postal codes and multiple spellings, names, or locations in these fields will cause your pages to be improperly indexed. It will make it harder for your cousins to find your pages and work with you. For more information see Shared research pages.

cox_genealogy.ged Imported Successfully

The pages from your GEDCOM, "cox_genealogy.ged" have been generated successfully. You may view them by launching the Family Tree Explorer and opening the family tree into which this GEDCOM was imported.

I made a mistake on your GEDCOM upload causing the titles of some of your sources to start with Coxtree/Coxtree/" Everything still works fine, but if you would like to fix the problem automatically, simply delete the family tree and re-import the GEDCOM, and all of the titles should be fine. Sorry about this; it was a temporary problem that I as a developer caused, and it should not happen again. Thanks for using WeRelate!

Richardson and Cox research [14 October 2007]

Hi, I am an admin for WeRelate. In checking new pages I found your Richardson research. As this info did not concern a given name, I moved the contents to Editing User:Coxtree/Richardson Research. I did the same for the Cox info and moved it to User:Coxtree/Cox research. This is a more appropriate place for it and your cousins are more likely to search for your research notes when they are attached to your user page. You might be interested in the Surname:Cox page, it list alot of alternate spellings and derivations. If you have any questions, please leave me a message.  :)--sq 11:01, 14 October 2007 (EDT)
